There has been a great deal Of talk,
without result, of the publication Of
the Republican party, within itself. 1t
has been left, in the providence of God
for the Democratic party to accomplish
a more radical publication than could
have been accomplished within the
party in a hundred years, by knocking
off the Malone and Riddleberger annex
in Virginia. Such Republican sena-
tors as Edmunds of Vermont, who
have agonized under this affection
until they were almost tempted to
curse God and die, must feel very
much as Job did when his boils came
to a head.

We place no confidence in the story
that there has been serious disagree
ment between George and McGlynn.
There is, no doubt, much fault finding
among their disappointed subordinates,
but the two chiefs are too closely
united in interest to separate so long
as there is chance to gain living
income out of "anti poverty" 1t is
safe to say, however, that next to the
aid of The World, McGlynn's speeches
were the most powerful cause of the
decrease of the land coniiscation vote.

Many people laughed at Stanley when
he said there were 1000 miles of navi-
gable waters above Stanley Pool. We
now know that there are at least
$500 miles of navigation above that
point, and that the mighty Congo, which
awhile ago was classed as sixth or
seventh among the great rivers, is second
only to the Amazon system in the extent
of its navigable waters, and in the vast
volume that it pours into the sea. One
map house in Europe last year had to
publish five different editions of its
map of the Congo basin, in order to
keep pace with the progress of dis
covery. What could surpass in sensa-
tional interest such a discovery as DR..
Wolff made last year? For about two
months he steamed slowly and carefully
up an unknown water route leading to
the heart of the continent. His vessel
was the En- Avant, and picture of
this famous little boat is given in
the initial cut because it was the first
steamer ever launched on the Upper
Congo and has assisted in some of the most
remarkable discoveries. Up the Kassai
aftiuent pulled the En- Avant, turning at
last into its mighty branch, the Sankuru, a
grand river 1900 feet wide, which Wolff
assembled for nearly 500 miles, follow
ing course nearly due east a little
south of four degrees south latitude.
Then when the Sankuru turned to the
south Wolff pushed up its Iona mi attlu-

he had penetrated within few days
march by land of Nyangwe, famous
trading centre, almost exactly midway
between the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
A navigable waterway still stretched
eastward, but an accident compelled
Wolff to turn down the stream again.
Wolff had discovered grand new flu
vial highway, subtending the great north
ern bend of the Congo, leading from the
Atlantic to Central Africa and inter-
rupted only by the cataracts in the lower
Congo, around which the railroad is to
be built. He made this journey through
densely-peopled region, where towns of
$4,000 inhabitants often line the river
banks. He estimated the population to
be as dense as in some parts of Germany.
Of the many thousands of people who
swarm over these fertile plains OR range

the shadow on the North, and Takata, a
large manufacturing town, on the south,
the central line passing throug b the large
fshing-village of I9zumosaki, on the
high road between the two. The island
of Sado, opposite tti Niigata, which is
free to foreigners, is wholly within the
shadow, the central line crossing Sawa
Uni bay. The totality here lasts 1873
seconds, with sun $40 high. On the
east coast the important town Of Mito
lies almost precisely on the central line.
The duration here will be 1872 seconds,
and the sun 80 high. Japan, indeed,
offers advantages for observing stations
superior to those of Perm, as the sun will
be considerably higher, and the duration
